Recipe Remix: Gralehaus Lamb and Chive Grits

Inspired by a favorite brunch entree at the Gralehaus in louisville, ky, this dish is an updated and elevated take on a Southern staple. I first enjoyed the dish at brunch on a spring day, dining in their outdoor garden. Filled with herbs, fresh flowers, glistening in the sunlight, and topped with the taste of a homemade sorghum latte, the company and meal was perfect. As I was recipe testing for Easter brunch I was reminded of this dish and knew I wanted to try my own take on the dish.
